California, Notorious USA

Another exciting book in The New York Times best-selling series, Notorious USA. This time we're talking through the criminal side of the Golden State.

Not all that glitters in sunny California is gold. There are beautiful beaches, fancy houses, and weather that cannot be beat. Once you scratch the surface of this shimmering façade, what you find may rock you to your core. Acclaimed writer Don Lasseter brings us three tales of wives so wicked that it goes to show the old moto “happy wife, happy life” can often be a threat.

Betty Broderick went from riches to rags and back to riches again, but when her husband tries to pull the rug out from under her, will she be the last one standing?

Catherine Thompson, financially strapped and unhappy in her married life, comes up with a plot to solve two of her problems. The question is how many people will she bring down with her?

Last, but not least, we have Omaima Nelson. This newlywed has decided her honeymoon is over. Is she really a victim of domestic violence, or did she have darker plans all along? This story is so depraved, you will have to listen carefully to it to believe it.

In this new installment of Notorious USA, we explore the idea that even in sunny California, she’d stop at nothing. Enjoy!
